Chapter 116: Children of Duke Jiang [Please give me 5-star praise, please follow me, and urge me to
At Jinqutai, almost all the women who came to attend the palace banquet had arrived.
Everyone took their seats. Su Qingwan looked around and found that many of them were women she had met at the Taolin Party before.
"Qingwan, Jiang Yueling, the daughter of Duke Jiang's family, is here too."
Han Yue looked at the woman in gorgeous clothes who was led in by two palace maids.
Su Qingwan also looked over when she heard this.
Jiang Yueling had an elegant complexion. Although she was not a stunning beauty, her manners and grace in her actions were beyond the reach of ordinary women. It was obvious that she had been taught etiquette by the palace nanny.
She wore a light purple skirt with grape patterns and a white jade crown on her head. With just this outfit, she outshined all the other women who came to the palace banquet.
But these women all knew that she was the future Crown Princess, and the Emperor had already asked the people of the Imperial Observatory to select an auspicious day for the two to get married, so no one would think it was bad that her outfit overshadowed their own.
Jiang Yueling should have walked directly to her seat, after all, her seat was next to that of Concubine Xian, but she let the palace maid lead her to Su Qingwan instead.
"Miss Jiang, this is the fourth lady of the Su family." said the palace maid.
Su Qingwan looked at Jiang Yueling.
What did she want to talk to me about? It seemed like there was nothing for me and her to talk about.
"Hello, Miss Su Si, my name is Jiang Yueling."
"Hello, Miss Jiang."
Su Qingwan stood up and returned the greeting.
"In fact, I wanted to get to know you earlier. I thought I would see you in the palace one day, but I didn't expect that after chatting with the Queen for a while, you left the palace."
Jiang Yueling said with regret.
Su Qingwan recalled that she only saw Dong Qinshuang in the palace that day, but she didn't expect Jiang Yueling was also there.
Come to think of it, the two of them, one is the Crown Princess and the other is the Crown Prince's concubine, so naturally they should go to the palace to express their gratitude.
However, it is obvious that the future Crown Princess Jiang Yueling is more favored by the Queen.
"It's the same even if we know each other now." Su Qingwan smiled faintly.
Han Yue looked at Su Qingwan's smile and knew that it was just a business smile and there was no sincerity in it.
Jiang Yueling also curled her lips and said, "Actually, I want to thank you."
Su Qingwan didn't understand what she meant, but she lowered her voice and said, "Dong Qinshuang."
After she finished speaking, she blinked at Su Qingwan, meaning that you must understand what I am saying.
Su Qingwan's eyes moved, "I don't know whether Miss Dong will come to the palace banquet."
She didn't care what Jiang Yueling knew; she would not admit anything.
The imperial edict was issued by the emperor. What does the replacement of the crown princess have to do with me? It was just that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Dong family, so he couldn't stand what Dong Qinshuang did, and then made her a concubine.
Jiang Yueling thought Su Qingwan would accept her thanks, but she looked like she didn't understand what she was saying.
What a wonderful person!
"I don't know either." Jiang Yueling said with a smile.
While the two were talking, Dong Qinshuang also walked in, led by a palace maid.
As soon as she came in, she saw Su Qingwan and Jiang Yueling standing together, and her mind was immediately filled with thoughts.
Why are the two of them standing together? Could it be that they have known each other for a long time?
Jiang Yueling naturally also saw Dong Qinshuang. She smiled coldly, nodded at Su Qingwan, and walked towards her seat.
In the past, Dong Qinshuang had the title of county lord, and he could not compare with her, but now, she is no longer a county lord.
Moreover, after they enter the Eastern Palace, I will be the Crown Princess and Dong Qinshuang will only be a concubine. She will have to kowtow to me. It’s so refreshing just thinking about it!
Dong Qinshuang glared at Su Qingwan fiercely, saying, "Don't think that I will let you go just because you've hooked up with Jiang Yueling."
Su Qingwan just felt that these two women were not mentally normal. She was not the prince. If you have the energy, just go after the prince. What's the point of competing with her?
"The Concubine Xian has arrived!"
The eunuch's spy's voice was heard, and all the women attending the palace banquet stood up and saluted.
Su Qingwan secretly looked at this virtuous concubine.
She is the mother of the seventh prince. She was born a fishmonger and was a woman the emperor met during one of his incognito trips.
It is rumored that she once saved the emperor's life, so she was quite favored after entering the palace. It's a pity that the seventh prince she gave birth to was a little stupid.
Su Qingwan thought about Prince An's words and actions, and she didn't think he was stupid, he just didn't have any brains.
The virtuous concubine was plump and had a round face. She looked like a blessed woman at first glance.
She sat in the top seat and looked around at the girls on either side.
Each one of them looks so fresh and fresh, just like the big white radishes planted in the garden.
Thinking of what her son had said to her, that Han Yue'er was very beautiful, she couldn't help but look in the direction where Han Yue was.
There were two women sitting in that seat, both of them looked pretty and it was unclear which one was the beautiful sister that my silly son was talking about.
Su Qingwan noticed that Concubine Xian was looking at her. She thought it was arranged by 'Lord Shen', so she felt very calm after being looked at. She almost nodded to Concubine Xian.
This was not the first time Han Yue had seen Concubine Xian, but compared to her original impression of the Concubine Xian, the current Concubine Xian seemed to have gained weight.
"Today, I am hosting this palace banquet just to have some fun with everyone. If you want to show off your talents, please feel free to do so."
The virtuous concubine said cheerfully.
Originally, this palace banquet didn't have any theme. Fortunately, the emperor asked her to just sit and watch their performance. If she thought it was good, he could give her some rewards. The main point was to take a look at the girl from the Han family.
When these words were spoken, many young ladies were surprised, but no one pointed it out.
They all knew that Concubine Xian came from the common people and did not have as many rules as other concubines.
After Su Qingwan looked around, she found that there were many people hiding in the Jinqu Stage.
These people should be arranged by "Lord Shen" to deal with emergencies.
But there are so many women, we have to separate them first.
"Sister Yue'er, I'm going to go out for a while. Please sit here for a while."
Su Qingwan saw that the singing and dancing had started, so she said something to Han Yue.
Han Yue nodded in agreement.
Their seats are also near the front, and it would not be good if both of them left.
"Zhenzhu, Linxiang, you stay and take care of my sister Yue'er."
Su Qingwan ordered.
Linxiang wanted to say something but hesitated, but still stood obediently with Zhenzhu.
After Su Qingwan left the table, she walked directly to the outside of the Jinqu Stage. She walked towards the corner and accurately found the captain of the guards who was hiding there.
Chief of the Guards: ...
How did she find me? I was born as a secret guard, so hiding is my specialty.
Su Qingwan didn't know that her behavior had broken the guard's defense, so she asked directly, "Where is Lord Shen?"
"He's at the emperor's place and hasn't come yet," the captain of the guards replied.
His eldest son has put on makeup and has a beard, hiding on the beam.
"I didn't realize that Lord Shen is quite favored by the Emperor."
